Question EssenstialsX permissions aren't working

I have been working on a minecraft server for a while now and have been using this plugin for permissions. I have been using the permissions for kits and they have not wanted to work at all. It just simply tells me I dont have acess to the command whilst being in the specified group. I listed a screenshot of my permissions text file so I can be assisted.

 

Simple fix! There should be spaces between the hyphens and the permission, like this:

Code:

groups:
    default:
        default: true
        permissions:
         - example.permission

 

I did this, is it correct? (besides the fact that the second permission node says essemtials. I fixed it still doesn't work.

 

@MPG1 That's not necessary.

@dstrctoooo Do you get any errors in the console or do they just not have the permission?

 

@KarimAKL I have found this: [16:54:00 ERROR]: Permission node 'groups' in permissions.yml is invalid. I have everything perfectly set up there should be no reason why this error is happening.

 

@dstrctoooo That looks like the beginning of a stacktrace. I found this thread with what seems to be the same problem.

 

I still am having the same issue after do what the thread told me to do.

 

@dstrctoooo Can you post the whole stacktrace as well as the current file using pastebin?

I have just figured out the fix to this issue. I just started using luckperms which somehow made it work. Thanks for your help anyways .
